Another giveaway????

Crazy, I know.
But those nice people who brought me the rug hooking stuff a couple of weeks ago, came back.
And they brought MORE stuff.

Here is another lap frame, made by Appleton Krafts, a hooked rug in progress, and a large bag of wool pieces, some of them cut.

Yes, I could sell them, but I want to "pay it forward". They were given to me, because these nice folks felt that if I couldn't use them, I would know someone who would.
So, one more time, I'm doing a giveaway.
All you have to do is comment and tell me what wonderful things you would do with this stuff, if your name were picked. I will choose a winner on Thursday, the 7th.
You will have to pay shipping from 12839.

In addition to this stuff, they also brought a cutter, a really beautiful Rigby Model B cutter. I decided to do something a little different with it, because I did some research, and was right about its value.

It comes on a homemade stand, which is very handy to have right next to you while you are hooking rugs.

It will make a lovely cutter for someone.

It comes with the blade that is on it, plus five extra blades, and three fingers.
It sells new for $200, and each blade sells for $33. They are also hard to find new.

I am going to put the whole thing on Ebay starting at $200, and then I am going to donate the money to Out of the Pits, the organization in the capital district here in New York state, that does incredible things saving pit bulls, like ROY. Cause Roy is an Out of the Pits alumni!
If anyone is interested in it before I put it on Ebay, please let me know.
It really is a find for a rug hooker.

I think I am done with POINT TWILL for just a while........here is my finished warp....I counted FOURTEEN towels.
I got some cutting, hemming and washing to do.

I am a firm believer that in giving you receive...It is a lovely hooked piece -would love the pleasure of finishing it and then donate it for auction to benefit children....kindly enter me in the drawing. Thank you.

Id love the little frame, I have one kit that I impulsivly bought at a quilt show expo thing, where all the goodies seduce you into buying stuff you dont need or dont know how to use. Sure looked easy when the guy selling showed me how... Well Im pretty handy and would love to give it a try. I want one of those dishtowels too, Im going to haunt the store site till they are up, so beautiful!!

Hilary, I would love to chosen for this giveaway! I love to hook and could sure use that lap frame, and my "kids"/cats would enjoy helping me finish that rug. Just think of the joy it would give all 7 of us (me & my 6 indoor rescue cats). :)

About Me

I am an 'older' woman, who refuses to get old. I think I am really twelve, and my family will often agree. I have found my passion in weaving, and have left one career to begin another. What? I don't have all the time in the world???
